is there a magnetic field around a moving "single" charge?
Quote: "All moving charged particles produce magnetic fields."
Hypothetically - if you took a bunch of charged hydrogen ions (H+) and moved them through space, would there be a magnetic field around them? (ie, there are no electrons anywhere in this experiment, only protons)
From what I understand, a magnetic field only occurs when you have electrons amidst the positively charge protons such that - relatively speaking - in the case of a current, the electrons are moving one direction while the protons move the other.
Is there anywhere I can find information about this specific test?
Thanks!
